All the corruption of government purposely allowing viruses and bugs in our computer just as they allow drugs to kill us they should do something about broadband. I honestly say either put up or shut up. If you won't get job done then leave and let somebody in that will

Please stop them from continuing that awful practice of making people pay for a service that you might get or might not get. Force them to provide reliable connection speeds and regulate how it is measured or they're going to ***** the public over on that end. And please don't listen to the TimeWarner's or Comcast's when they send in the lobbyists to tell you about what they can do and what they can't do. They suck the money out of people's pockets and do not provide what they are contracted to provide hiding behind unclear statements or definitions. Please start helping us - the consumers! Also force them to offer services anywhere and don't protect the market. Right now you only can go with TimeWarner or you only can go with Comcast (or whoever else is designated to that area). Lift those regulations. Force them to spend a certain percentage of their income into hardware and force them to provide service of a certain standard and then let people choose. Very soon things would become reasonable. We would have in no time a lot of competition for the market and in no time we would finally receive good service, because if we don't... we just leave!

My download speed is greater than 100 mbps (116 mbps according to Speedof.me), but your counter can only record a maximum of 99,999 kbps download speed so its reading is inaccurate. If you're relying on that to determine what broadband speeds are available around the USA, you're going to be in error. Add at least one more digit to your counter so you can get speeds up to 999,999 kbps, which should hold us for a while.

For many American's choices are at the heart of our freedoms. Much of what Government is suppose to do is ensure that in a capitalist economy, we the people, continue to have choices and are not forced into a situation where we are not victims to a monopoly or unfair business practices or that we are taken advantage of. Back in 1956, Eisenhower saw the need that in order to take these 50 States and connect them in a way that allowed for easier commerce across state-lines, an interstate highway system had to be built. So in 1956 with the passing of the Federal Aid Highway Act, 41,000 miles of highway were **** spanning from sea to shining sea. Obviously for the day this was one of the biggest achievements and certainly one of the largest that had been funded by the Government, but years later, we look back to this and we take for granted the fact that if I need to go from point A to point B is there a highway that will get me there. Nowadays we are in the same place when it comes to the Internet. More and more of our work and our lives are moving into that space. And what is lacking now is clear direction from the Government to say this is how we are going to push America into the forefront. Just like Eisenhower didn't wait for private industry to come in and build an interstate highway system to allow them to do more business, the Government today cannot sit and let private industry continue to monopolize the Internet. We need a public sponsored backbone that connects all 50 States in a high speed smart network grid. As it stands right now, ISP's compete with each other in terms of routing and handling various traffic, and that traffic within a metropolitan area is then passed to larger ISP's who maintain "backbones" which are even larger conduits to pass data from one large metropolitan to another. Here in lies the problem. ISP's are charging more and more to transmit that data, there are less and less smaller companies that can compete to provide massive data requirements to individual homes, and backbone providers are either getting saturated or are having to filter traffic, which means that certain content may get priority over other content. The end result is that the American people are at the mercy of these few mega-corporations who control the network infrastructure in America. This is just not a good idea. Imagine of the national highway system was privatized. Or what if the National parks were privatized? Obviously we scoff at these ideas as they are pure lunacy--we would never dream of doing such a thing. But yet we can't see the value in having a Government sponsored program that establishes the inter-state massive smart network grid for the 22nd century (yes that's not a typo)? We need to look to the future, just as Eisenhower did back in the 1950's and realize that our demand for bandwidth is going to grow exponentially. Just as Moore's law says computing power will double every 18 months, our appetite for bandwidth is growing at an even more considerable rate. Spectrum isn't a solution as there are always interferences that cause the service to be poor. We need the equivalent of the interstate highway system to transport massive amounts of data--both today's requirements as well as at least 50 years into the future--to make sure that at the heart of the net, there isn't a corporate entity that controls it. What I propose in addition to this massive smart network grid, is that the Government would only serve as the backbone between the large metropolitan areas. Individual ISP's would still have to provide end to end service that brings the network to the individual homes (much like how the interstate power grid works). This would provide more options for smaller companies to tailor solutions for customer's and make it more competitive within the market space. Their infrastructure costs would be limited to the home to metropolitan hub. From there, they connect into the Government backbone and the traffic is then routed accordingly based on wherever the DNS points to. This sounds like a large undertaking and it is. But remember the Federal Aid Highway Act was originally a $25 billion dollar project--and that was back in the 1950's. To do something like that today it would obviously be much more costly, but this is the direction that America needs to go in. This is what would give clear direction to tell businesses that American's, every single American, should have access to affordable massive speed access. If Google can affordably connect two Cities on a Gigabit network, surely we can take lessons from them in terms of how they lowered their implementation costs so as not to create a massive craptastic network and instead create something that others in the World decide they need to as well and take the American model.
